Well I'm in Cambridgeshire and I think it is poor. If I had written this sort of thing at school, I probably wouldn't have been entered for O-level English Language. I admit I'm not very knowledgeable in such matters, but would this article have been generated by AI?

@chrisonabike The only way the next iteration of beings will value the world is if that attitude improves your chances of mating. Ladies, I REALLY value the world we inhabit😊

Well now, let's not be hasty. We should get the views of a range of audiences first. For instance, how's it gone down with readers in the Surrey area?

I can't find these on Lezyne's site, not even in among the legacy/discontinued products.

"Confusing name - "Elite" and "Pro" not meaning top end" There is method to the madness. Challenge uses "Elite" to designate second-tier tyres with intermediate thread counts. "Elites" is also the top amateur rank recognised by a few continental European federations, I believe that's the inspiration for the name. Challenge uses "Pro" to designate tyres with open tubular construction. They lie above the vulcanised tyres, that Challenge calls "Race".

Suggest you pull this article, fix it, then bin it.

@ajd As well as confusing George Orwell with Orson Wells - clearly not proof read (at least, not by a different person)

@mdavidford One assumes it's referencing Nancy Mitford's famous "Noblesse Oblige" with its concept of U and non-U language, U being upper class and non-U the more flowery attempts to sound posh from the middle classes. I recall her decreeing that bicycle and bike were U and cycle was non-U, though she was of course a little early to rule on the difference between ATB and MTB.

On the subject of mountain biking, terrific rides by Tom Pidcock and Charlie Aldridge to take gold and silver in the UCI World Championships yesterday.

Yep, done the same to a father and son once as the kid’s bike looked like a crash waiting to happen. The father gave me a mouthful of abuse for being nosey. I am guessing he built it up for his son and ‘knew what he was doing!’

yeah we do indeed…the usual “but I got it brand new from asda, tesco, jjb, halford etc etc…and I/They built it up properly, you dont have an f-ing clue” come along with it when we say, erm, this bike is going to cause your child to get injured.
